Routing protocols are designed assuming certain application-specific network
characteristics. In order for a routing protocol to be effective and reliable it needs to be …

In this paper we examine mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) composed by unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs). Due to the high-mobility of the nodes, these networks are very dynamic and …

In the performance evaluation of a protocol for an ad hoc network, the protocol should be
tested under realistic conditions including, but not limited to, a sensible transmission range …

An unmanned aerial ad hoc network (UAANET) is a special type of mobile ad hoc network
(MANET). For these networks, researchers rely mostly on simulations to evaluate their …

Future generations of wireless networks are expected to heavily rely on unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs). UAV networks have extraordinary features like high mobility, frequent …

With the technological advances, there is an increasing attention on micro-UAVs in the
military area as well as in the civilian domain. They are used as swarm (several UAVs) …

A wireless ad hoc network is an infrastructureless network where nodes are mobile. The
evaluation of ad hoc networking protocols is very sensitive to mobility. As a result, exploring …

In this paper, we survey recent advances in mobility modeling for mobile ad hoc network
research. The advances include some new mobility models and analysis of older mobility …

In mobile ad hoc network research, simulation plays an important role in determining the
network characteristics and measuring performance. On the other hand, unrealistic …

Network simulators emerged as the most common method of evaluating the performance of
large and complex networking systems. However, for systems involving mobile nodes, the …
